CafeTran Espresso 2015 Update 13

Hi,


The update 13 to CafeTran Espresso 2015 is available for download. The users who purchased the program after 22 April 2015, in the new licensing system, do not have to install it anew. They can update it via a simple drag and drop procedure as follows:


1. Run CafeTran.

2. Download 20151124_update.zip file from here (do not unzip or rename the file after downloading) and place it on your desktop.


Note: On Mac OSX, the Safari web browser may unzip the file automatically after downloading. To prevent this, just use the right-click menu and choose the "Download Linked File" command.


3. Drag and drop the downloaded file into the Project Dashboard and restart the program.


4. Drag and drop the downloaded file into the Project Dashboard and restart the program. Second time!

    The step 4 above is only for users who missed the update 10 with the new icon sets.


The update includes the following changes:


1. Edition of multiple translation memories in the glue mode when selecting a folder with the translation memories.

2. When localized formating numbers option is on, CafeTran retains the trailing zeros in the target number now.

3. New "Automatic update of project statistics" option (see the menu Project > Statistics > Automatic update of project statistics). After turning this option on, you should also notice the second progress bar which displays the actual character-based progress in your translation.

4. The fix in the display of Japanese fonts in the Quick term editor.

I installed this (twice) have my old friend, which is the error whereby the 'next' button becomes completely unresponsive, which has happened with previous updates. If I remember correctly, last time this happened you had me run a sort of dummy installer and then install again. Could you walk me through that to rectify the problem?

 

Hi Adam,


I answered you in the Tickets section.

So, I downloaded CafeTran (for Linux, from the downloads page) to take a look in September. I don't currently have a license, as whilst there are a lot of things to love about CafeTran, there are still a lot of major problems in terms of documentation and in particular the clarity of the user interface. I keep hearing that there's work going on to improve things on this front so I'd like to take a look at more recent versions.
The above install process, however, doesn't work for me (as indeed the instructions imply it shouldn't, since I don't have a license). So I'm in a Catch-22 - I'd like to look at later versions to see if it is now mature enough to buy a license for, but I can't unless I buy a license.

Great, and I now find that following the above instructions has broken my CafeTran install (CafeTran now won't start).

This product has such potential, but it's such a mess at present.

Hi Amos,


Starting from the update 10, CafeTran uses a new icon set so you would need to repeat the update process TWICE to install them properly or wouldn't it be easier for you to reinstall CafeTran form scratch? There is already CafeTran 2016 version rolling out that you might wish to try out.

Hi Igor,
thanks for the as ever extremely prompt reply.
Yes I figured I'd have to reinstall from scratch (since I can't start CafeTran that's my only option anyway).
A question: If I download using the Linux download link (https://www.cafetran.com/download-cafetran-espresso?platform=linux), am I getting the latest version? Does this get updated regularly?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeremy

 

BTW, on Linux, run CafeTran on Oracle's Java since the Open Source (JRE) Java is not fully supported yet

P.S: And sorry for using the forum for support.

Yes, it is the same update as announced here:

That's okay. Other users may benefit from it.

And that from a Linux user, who I always thought were tech-savvy.


CafeTran is great. No question about it. Full stop.
